I'M BACK!!!

 It has been quite awhile since I have added to this blog.  I really have been blogging but on a different site.  If you have lost me, check out Voice of a Grandma at www.dougka01.blogspot.com  

Thought I would catch you up just a little.  First of all, our family has grown by leaps and bounds.  We now have eleven grandchildren with one more on the way this year.  Above you can see the picture of all of us at Christmas.  That is, all except Andy, who is still in Arizona.  We got to see him right before Thanksgiving, but he wasn't able to make it for our Christmas celebration.  We are going to visit him again over Spring Break.

My other news is that I finally decided that 43 years of teaching was enough.  I signed my paper of intent to retire last week.  This June will be my last.  If you know me at all, you know that I will still be busy.  Right now, I have no idea what I that future holds.  I do know that with my love for writing, my interest in curriculum and having (soon) a dozen grandchildren, I will find something to keep me busy!  Knowing my future is in God's hands is enough for me!

Below you see us with all eleven grandchildren.  God has certainly blessed us!
